It cost about the same to go 4l80e as it does th350 or th400... I have around $2200 total in my swap. Thats trans, rebuild kit, wiring, convert, crossmember, dipstick and all. You can even buy a T-brake for the 80e. Best of all, you still got a stronger trans and OD


Dont know honestly, it should be quick.

Well went went and everything that could go wrong did. 1st, I bought a new laptop installed my Hptuners, got to the dyno and the dame laptop didnt have a 9pin connector for the cable, so I hurry to best buy buy one and its the wrong one. Take it back get another and they give them a 15pin this time, another wrong one. Finally got the right one and was sitting in my truck in bestbuy parking lot and a damn coke in the back seat exploded out of the blue sparying all inside my truck. Head back to the dyno and they are swapping out some injectors for some 36's. I didnt have a file or enet access there so I had no scale chart for the new ones. I got one from a guy there and we were ready to pull. Plug my laptop up and it want read the damn cable or adatper. I figure no big deal, I grab my old laptop from the truck. Go to turn it on and it keeps shutting off saying Operating System not found. Damn it! The guy that helped with the scaling was still there with his laptop so he offered it up. 1st couple pulls were way fat, in the 11-1 range. I tried and tried to lean it out but it would never go past 12-1 range. Come to find out the flow rate table I got was wrong. got that changed added some timing and got that dialed in 3pulls.

Pulled 6* ot timing and started the spray runs. 1st spray run, the window switch wouldnt kick in. Ended up being the FPSS. Fixed that. 2nd run sprayed for a split sec, then cut off. The relays keep popping fuses, Got that fixed, made 1 full NX run and had a huge lean spike. So know hes got jetting issues. Stat messing with that and the laptop dies. So we were done, unable to do anymore. All this started about 6 or so and we got finshed after 10pm. It was not a good day, being rushed non stop since I got off work, and everything going the oposite direction. We will try again in a couple weeks.

Results:
392.7hp, 377ftlbs all motor. Converter locked.
471hp, 5xxftlbs NX 100shot, went way lean.

Hey Matt. Been a while since I checked here. Haven't called Marcus. Brett's gonna get the guy who tuned his LT1 to do mine. Next week will have the fuel system upgraded a little so I can get on the dyno. The turbo buick seems to be dragging around, all he needs a radiator. Been kinda waiting on him so we can get both cars tuned the same day/place. Probably just tune mine and he may be on his own!!
